The conversation also covers the mechanics of the Aviloo testing process, pricing models for B2B and B2C services, and the comprehensive nature of the Aviloo battery certificate.They conclude with insights on the future of battery diagnostics and the importance of safety checks in the EV industry.Takeaways:Avilo is a market leader in EV battery diagnostics.Battery health is crucial for determining the value of used EVs.Different charging habits significantly impact battery health.Independent testing provides more accurate battery health assessments.The Avilo Flash Test allows quick battery health checks.Consumers can access Avilo's testing services through a web shop.Battery certificates include detailed health metrics and benchmarks.Data from over half a million tests informs battery health insights.Battery safety checks should be part of annual vehicle inspections.Investing in battery health checks is essential for used EV buyers.Guest Details:I have been in leading positions of several highly reputable Real Estate companies for more than 20 years. Amongst others, I was MD of an institutional Real Estate Investment funds, COO of the worlds largest real estate services company. I succesfully restructured and built companies throught Central- and Eastern Europe. And then, at the age of 43 I decided to do something totally different and joined the Start Up company AVILOO as COO/CFO and shareholder. AVILOO developed a sophisticated Battery Data Platform to perform independent and objective state of health checks of second hand electric vehicles.Marcus's WebsiteThe EV Musings Podcast is sponsored by Zapmap, the go-to app for EV drivers, helping you find and pay for public charging with confidence.Episode produced by Arran Sheppard at Urban Podcasts: https://www.urbanpodcasts.co.uk(C) 2019-2026 Gary ComerfordSupport me: Patreon Link: http://www.patreon.com/evmusingsKo-fi Link: http://www.ko-fi.com/evmusingsThe Books:'So, you've gone electric?' on Amazon : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Q5JVF1X'So, you've gone renewable?’ on Amazon : https://amzn.to/3LXvIckSocial Media:EVMusings: Twitter https://twitter.com/MusingsEvInstagram: @EVmusingsOctopus Energy referral code (Click this link to get started) https://share.octopus.energy/neat-star-460Upgrade to smarter EV driving with a free week's trial of Zapmap Premium, find out more here "},"annotations":[{"startTime":64.66000000000001,"endTime":70.66,"type":"car","title":"Polestar 2","url":"/cars/polestar/2","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/04/Polestar_2_%28Facelift%29_IMG_9470.jpg","quote":"When I recently swapped out my ID3 for a second-hand Polestar 2, I had my battery health checked by a company called Avalu, who were mentioned in that particular episode.","canonicalId":"car:polestar:2","priority":0.5,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"The Polestar 2 is an all-electric fastback produced by Polestar, a performance electric vehicle brand.
